About this trial
There are few studies that already have validated specific raw accelerometer cut-points for people over 65 years old.
The purpose of the present study is to validate raw accelerometer cut points for general people over 65 years old and specific raw accelerometer cut points based on the functional status of older adults over 65 years old.
The study will be carried out with an observational approach. Participants will be divided into 4 groups. First of them will be made grouping all subjects and the rest divided according to their functional status. They will perform different-intensity physical activities while wearing accelerometers attached to their body and wearing a portable gas analyser too. Their intensity will be assessed based on their own Rest Metabolic Rate (RMR). Energy expenditure and accelerations will be matched and, based on that, sedentary behaviour, light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity cut-points will be derived.
